In Outlook, changing your perspective can be as simple as arranging your messages in a different way. In this lesson, we'll show you how to arrange messages so that you can quickly find what you're looking for.
Outlook displays only relevant date information depending on the age of the message. For example, messages received today show the time only. Messages from yesterday show the day and time, while messages that are older than a week show you dates only.
You may be familiar with the term mail thread . This arrangement lets you keep track of the threads. The conversation in the picture shows a few mail threads in a single conversation. Want the details? The messages indented under Linda's response are one thread, while Chris's 12:40 PM response is another. The indenting lets you know right away who participated in which thread. For example, everyone else in the conversation added their thoughts to Linda's response, not Chris's (although Chris got back into that thread at 3:41 PM, and again at 5:50 PM). If you were trying to get caught up on the details of a conversation, you would read the thread under Linda Contreras's first, and then if you were curious, you could see what Chris Ashton had to say at 12:40 PM (but you'd know that his comments in that message weren't the most up to date, and that they didn't take into consideration everyone else's thoughts).

Suppose you have a collection of 300 messages in your Inbox. Or, perhaps you've neatly filed everything, only to wonder "do I need to act on one of those messages, and where did I put it?" You've saved many of those messages because you need to attend to things they discuss. Some might need your attention today, some next week, and others just need your attention…sometime. How do you keep track of all this—and how do you call attention to the messages you want to see today? Introducing: Flags.
Once you get used to flags, you may want to prioritize certain messages as soon as you read them.

You may not think that folders are your style… but really, they can work for anyone. Why? Because how you use them is up to you.
Remember the flags we talked about in the last lesson? This For Follow Up folder allows you to quickly see all of the messages you have flagged for follow up. When you use flags, this folder becomes your virtual "To Do" list.
